"iVheri he is wearied. sitting on the cushions of provincial poweii and yearns to walk over the eordwroy roads of Federal Opposition, Oliver Mowat will quit leading his own band to Play second fiddle in Wilfrid Laur- ier's orchestra. The Ontario Legislature convened for the despatch of business, at Toron- to, on Tnesday. The appointment of Registrar for the County of Huron will likely be made during this sess- ion. There are a large number of applicants. and who the lucky one will be it is heed to determine. Outside of lfr. Gibson, member for East Huron, who it is saki, does not want it, the tehoice lies between Messrs A. Bishop, Exeter, D.D. Wilson, Seaforth, and D. Ergithart, Hensel'. The Reformers of South Huron are Rutting forth strong efforts to induce George McEwen, reeve of Hay town- ship, to contest the South Riding of Huron, at the next general elections, in opposition to John McMillan, the present incumbent. The Reformers, apparently, have become tired of ,Honest John, who seezns to think he has alife lease of the office, and are determined to displace him. Mr. Mc- Ewen is a Liberal, as is also Mr. Mc- Millan , and as the fight will be of no et. consequence to us politically, we leave it with them. We might simply state that Mr. McEwen would makea.credit- able member. The citizens of Leamington are mak- ing an effort to establish a beet sugar factory in that town. It is conceded to be a boon to any locality. They propose to use 700 acres of land each year. The Post says :--"The establ ish- ment of such an industry would be of immense advantage to the farmers in Essex and Rent. Arrangements can be made with the different railroads to transport the roots from any stat- ion within fifty miles of the factory for fifty cents per ton. The amount paid to the farmers at only a fair aver- age growth per acre of twenty tons, would be over a, half million of dollars, while the wages duriug the manufac- ture of the roots into sugar, would easily reach $120,000. It would mean an added population to the town of at least one thousand persons." Why could not such an industry be estab- • fished in Exeter? Oronhyatekha, the chief of the In- -dependent Order of Foresters, and Mr. Williaiu MeCable, the head of the North American Life Insurance Com- pany, are 'pelting three column letters at each other through the medhun of the Toronto Globe..Mr. McCable has the best of the argueent, although the • "big Ingun" has the most to say. Mr. !VIellable shows up some of the weak- ness in the management and urges legislation that will secure government inspection of the manner in which the affairs of the society are conducted. The following is a sample of the way in which Mr. McCable puts it: "The extravagant outlay of $70,000 on a pleasure trip to Europe last summer, Ln Violation of the constitution. Should warily provoke the members to put a curb on this officer, if they can, by securing such a measure of Govern- ment supervision as would afford them some protection. Efforts in this dir- ection are not attacks upon the order, as the chief; in order to divert their attention from his own acts, endeavors to Make the member believes." A caucus of the Conservative party last- ing f rom 11 o'clock till two, was held at Ottawa, Tuesday. Speecheswere made by eaueuslinewbersandthe trade policy and Remedial Bill were fully discussed. In regard to the former there was per- fect unanimity in the party, lint in re- gard to the latter, while shine say there was unanimity, it is better to be perfectly frank and to admit that there were four members who an- nounced theta', intention of voting against the bill. A more significant 'feature of 'die caucus was the fact • that Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Sir Chaelee Tupper,. Bart., entered . the rooro itne-and-arm, aud on terms of perfect unity. This is important only ;is it Serres to set at rest the etoior that the relations between these gentlemen are strained. Both matfe speeches, and it was evident that they thoronghly understood each other, and arc working in perfect con- cord. Rev.

The question of increased accommodation for males will soon engage the often - tion of (game% and the inspector re- commended the use. of the present hospital ward for that purpose; also that a suitable bill of fare be drafted and submitted to the committee, and that the rules governing the inmates be printed and put up through the house. The comraittee recommended that all these suggestions be carried out as far as possible.' REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE A. large number of accounts were or- dered paid. The committee recom- mended that in future the announce- ment of the meetings of council be not advertised in the local papers as hitherto. The council refused to ae- cept thie recommendation, and in future the county papers will still re- ceive the munificentsum of $2 each for advertising two meetings of council. The committee recommended, and the colleen adopted it, that the custo- mary payment of $10 to each lock-up keeper in the county, amonnting to $140 in all, be discontinued. The com- mittee is of opinion that the returns of the registrag are incomplete, and that the sum of $0691s still due the county, which we recommend the treasurer to deniand and recover, if possible with- out recourse to lase. We believe the .cooncil will only require. to borrow $75,000 to redeem 'debentures, and recommend that the net be so worded that the council may pay prin- cipal and interest each year, or Pan intereet yearly and form a sinking fund. The treasurer to facilitate the passing of the wt, and advertise the debentures for sale before the June meeting, so that the council may be in a position to know exactly how much money to pass their by-law for. The committee recommend that the House of Refuge accounts be payable monthly, except those for contracts and salaries width should be paid quarterly; all accounts to be certified AN by the inepeetoirximiEr, fti.rwarded to the clerk, and. the warden to issue his I order for the same at once.

In reference to the formation ofa. joint school section between Morris and Tit rtiberry, the committee recommend the following as arbitrators, Inspec- tor Robb, P. Henderson, East Waw- anosh, and John Menzie, Howick. The returns of receipts and expendi- ture of the Goderich and Seaforth Collegiate Institutes are not, as detailed or full !as the colleen called for; for instancie Seaforth has "other expenses, $973.87," and Goderich has' "iniscellan eons expense, $222.80," which the committee think should have been given more in detail.

No. 5 Hul- lett were much improved, and others spent from $30 to $90 in improvements. The erection of two new school houses this year will leave the buildings in this inspectorate in a satisfactory con- dition. At the Entrance and Public School Leaving exams 474 wrote' and 310 passed; of the !atter only 60 obtain- ed Entrance standing.

THE CATTLE EMBARGO. htUrOn ,COunty Llottnenle intellects 7; old age ; insanity 8; • -- A bill having -a yore- distinctive bear- ing upon the embargo now placed up- on.' Canadian cattle by Great Britain moll shortly be introduced into Con- gress: The ineaerite has been prepar- edby the Department. Of Agriculture and is intended te control and regulate the Slaughter, shipment and sale of food. animals.. • It contains a clause authorizing the President, whenever he is satisfied that any country is .dis- criminating unjustly against the pro- ducts of the United States, to direct that such products of that country as he may deem proper be excluded from the United States in retaliat- ion for the -unjust discrimination practiced against American products. One interpretation of this is that • should Great Britain remove the em- bargo upou Canadian cattle, but keep it in force against American cattle, the President of the United States may direct the exclusion of such Brit- ish goods as he may deem proper from the American market. He might even prohibit the importation of any and every British article into the States, their being nogimit placed upon his powers. Should such a bill become law, and there is every indication that it will, Canadian cattle dealers may as well make up their minds that the embargo against their cattle will not be re- moved as long as it is in force against United States animals. To do so would be to provoke retaliation and British trade with the States has already plenty of difficulties to overcome m the provisions of the tern The value of the Canadian cattle imports into Great Britaiu is a small item compared with the value of the trade between the Motherland and the States, and it is feabsurd to suppose that the former would provoke the retaliation which the retnoval of the embargo upou Canadian cattle would surely in- volve under the proposed law. 'Dur- ing the years 1890 to 1894 inclusive the annual value of the trade between Great Britain and the United States averaged $619,500,000; between Great Britain and. Canada $100,500,000 riot one-sixth of this latter stun the cat- tle trade averaged t$12,000,000 during theyearsmentioned. Is it likely that Great Britain for the sake of imports of this value, will care to provoke hos- tile legislation tending to curtail a trade more thanfiftytimesasvaluable? Not much '• and as the:American trade so completely dwarfs the Canadian trade with the Old Country, just s o long wUL the embargo remain upon our cattle, unless it is also renioved from animals going from the States, • e.g.... The Patrons, whose annual con- vention takes place in a few days, are already debating M r. Haycock's scheme for allowing persons not act- ually farmers to join the organization, and it seems possible that something will be dote along that line. How- ever that may be, the order is now firmly established as are independent force in politics, and the proceedings of the convention will be watched with interest bet both the old parties. At the general elections of 1891 the Patrons were too weak. to cut much of a figure, but in the election at band they will have a; good deal to say in Ontario and Manitoba as well as in parts of Quebec and New Brunswick and also in Prince Edward Island. The average annual iniportation of horses into Great Britain amounts to 20,000, and till very recently the sup- ply came from the continent of Eur- ope. But since 1890 the United States and Canada have captured a consider- able percentage of the business. In 1891 tne former eountry exported to England 4733 horses, while Canada's quota aneountecl to 5000. A London firm of horse dealers advise that from January to May is the best time to put horses on the English market. "Siz- able carriage horses, 15.2 to 16 . hands high, suitable for private buyers and our London job masters, realize from $200 to $500, according to size and quality. The stronger class here, used 1/111 our omnibuses, trains and van work, fetch from $150 to $250. The age should be from 5 to 6 years. They must be quiet in harness and to ride, as the ease may- be, and without any brand marks." The Canadian Pacific Railway Tues- day declared a dividend of one and a half per cent. for the half year, being at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. The receipts of last week were $122,- 000 in excess of what they were for the corresponding week of last year. These facts go to show that the talk of reterning, prosperity in Canada is no myth. Business on the Grand Trunk is likewise improving, the re- turns having shown considerable in- creases right along from the first of the year. The 0, P. R. is nowdepend- ing on its own resources entirely. A railway that traverses an entirely new country and that can pay 3 per cent. already has a promising future in store for it. An addition of one million to the population. of Manitoba and the Northwest would make the C. P. R. one of the best paying railways of Ainerien. • In all probability, the Ontario Leg- islature will, at this present session, provide for a reduction in the number of county councilors, 'the Government having promised a measure with that object in view. The number of grand furors has beet reduced by one-half, and the. province is yearly a good deal of money in pocket,while hhe public iriterestina,s notisuffered in any respeet A strong argument in favor of the re- duction of coun1,y. councilors is foetid in the fact that Ontario is now pretty well • settled. The pioneer labor of settling up the lands has. been largely -completed hi the older sections, and nearly all the work of management 144 now efficiently :eindertaken .by the .tevexislisip_ • boards-.

The re - guest for grant from the Good Roads Association was not entertained. Rev. Die l_fre, Goderichu Dr. Sham, Clinton, and Dr, Scott, Seaforth, were appoint- ed Collegiate Institute trustees. -Messrs Baird, of Stanley, and Cheswick,. of Seaforth, were appointed on the Board of Examniezei for school teachers, and P. Holt and W. Lane on the board of Criminal Audit. Messrs. IsraelTitylor, Clinton, and J. 0. Morrison, of Ale- Killop, wereiappointed County Audi- tors. The House of Refuge committee was:instructed to have the drainage and sanitary conditions of that build - hag thoroughly and effectively repaired as the weather will permit, under the supervision of a competent engineer if deemed necessary. It was decided. to procure a quantityof stone aud put j the persons in the ail to the task of carrying them from one part of the grounds to another, so as to give them work. A motion introduced by Deputy - Reeve Cooper, and seconded by Reeve Kennedy, that the next meeting of the council be held at Clinton, was lost Council adjourned to meet again June next. ExnerrivB ComelITTER'S REPORT. rite conmatee recommended the usuargrant of $20 to each of the Manch agricultural societies, $15 to each of the Mechanics' institutes, and $25 to the East and West Huron Teacher's Association. The application of the Dondniou Rifle association for the grant of $10, was refused. Recom- mended that J. Elliott, of Tuckersmith be accepted as a pupil at the Agricul- tural College. Recommended that the County printing be awarded to the Goderich Star. That the stun of $3,000 be granted for broundary lineappropri- ations. That the granting of $25 to each of the Farmers' Institutes be de- ferred until the June meeting. The committee recommended that the name of Dr. Shaw be substituted for the name of Dr. Campbell, as medical superintendent of thellonse of Refuge. All of whieh was adopted. JAILER'S REPORT. Jailer Dickson reported that. there were 20 prisoners in the jail -19 wales and 1 female, the latter being insane, and the necessary steps are being taken to get her into the asylum. Of the males, lis under sentence .for lereenv; the remaining 18 are vagrants, coin- inittecl under sentence of from 3 to months; one is in poor health, but the rest are strong and fit for work; they were all committed by Police Magis- trate Seeger, of Goderich. REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE. In regard to petition from county of Carleton, asking that the Local Legis- lature pay the polling booths of local elections instead of the municipalities, the committee reported in favor of the same. Recommended that the juris- dictioa of Division Cotwts be extended as suggested by the County Council of Grey. In regard to the memorialfrom Kent, concerning the killing of sheep by dogs, recommended that no action be taken. Recommended that the par- liament be petitioned against the im- portation of pauper children to this country. Recommended that parlia- ment be petitioned to pass a law hav- ing all actions arising from accidents on the streets and highways of muni- cipalities to be settled by the court of arbitration from which tnere shall be DO appeal; also that the law be amend- ed. so that actions be tried in the county where the case omens. With reference to thepetition that the Legis- lature be petitioned to amend the re- presentation so that reeves only form the county council, recomuiend that no action be taken. In reference to the proposed increase of the Pedlars and Hawkers License from $,Z to $100, the committee recommended that no action be taken, as it is the opinioi of Mr. Garrow that no discrimination can be made between resident and non- resident hawkers and pedlars. Co. TREASURER'S Lorre& The treasurer s statement showed that the expenditure in almost all the county accounts was somewhat kss than the estimates. The total deben- ture bebt, 454,000 sterling, is payable in London, 7England.on the lst . of August next. At the present rate of exchange it would take $264,000to pur- ehase a draft for that amount; but ex- change rates fluctuated° such an extent that next July the same draft might not cost more than $262,000. To meet these debentures there was at the close of the year $203,000 which will be in- creased by $5,000 by 1st July next, leaving from $51,000 to $57,000 to be provided. The H. of R. has cost 317,- 885.14; the govermnent grant of $4,000 has been applied for, and will no doubt be granted, and the balance will letve to be raised by the issue of debentures to the extent of $109,000for 20 years at four per cent. The Registrar's return of fees for the year 1895 is a little com- plicated, owingto his death. The county has received 8021.20, and some $800 has been paid to the provincial treasury. The treasurer is otthe opin- ion that the latter sum, and also about $375 more should be paid as the county's share under' the statutes. House.: OF REFUGE COMMITTEE% Tho committee reported that the sewerage system of the House wascon- structed in such a manner that it • was found advisable to take up the system.

To -day our membership, from a local as well as a national standpoint, is greater than it ever bas been in the history of the British Empire, and South Huron has contributed her just proportion to the general prosperity of our beloved. Institution. In the County during this, my first year of office, notamly bite prosperity marked the Orange Order, peace and 'dente- and almost universal luwmony prevails. This speaks well for the prineiples of Orangehen—principles that have withstood the testof adverse criticism for two centuries and to -day shines more brightly than the -new gold coin of yesterday. Other Societ- ies inmunerable have mine into exist- ence; some have adopted sihat is claim- ed to be a more aggressive, and at the same time offensive, crusade against, the Church of Rome ; some have en- deavored to bring- euccesit to their effort*: through this noble institution. and even make the unwarranted as- sertion that the Loyal Orange Institu- tion is not accomplishing the end for which it was over two hundred years ego brought into existence. This, I desire to any is not warranted. byfacts, and 1 un sure every brother Orange- man present will agree with me. The Orange institution is founded on the broadest principles of British freedom and British Liberty. We are bound not to persecute any man for conscience sake, to maintain, inviolate the constitution of the coimtry, the supremacy of law, order and constitu- tional freedom. In short, we disclaim an intolerant spirit. and are. bound to aid and. defend all loyal subjects of every religions persuasion in all con- stitutional rights. JUst so long as time lasts will the Orange Institution survive. Our foundation aud principles are so liberal -minded and broad that the In- stitution extends wherever a Protest- ant Briton is to be found. I had the pleasure of attending the Grand Orange Lodge of British Amer- , ica at Halifax last summer, along with Past County Master' Bros. Todd. and Scarlett from this Comity. The breth- ren of this section have, I must say, been favored by Providence in almost every respect. The trip was long and tedious, but gives one an idea of Onai- ada's great resources. Halifax is very strongly fortified by war ships, and British. Soldiers under the pay of " the Imperial authorities. There one of the great keys of milit- ary defence 3,s _held against Canadian and. British foes, and the impregnable . bulwarks, lieete, guns and fortresses must instil it natural pride in the heart of every true Orangeman, The Grand Lodge W41.3 in session several days and inuele important woek relative to the Crier was trans- acted. Every lo :Igo has received it full report of the promedings. I desire to :iv a word about the present unhappy agitation in.
